THE NEED FOR REFORM
No reform, no retrenchment can be enduring which leaves the Public Service open to use by the party in power as a party machine, out the work of reform must go further than this.' The railways must be placed in independent hands. Parliament’s control over the railways must be converted into real control in the national interest. At present it is not control at all, but a. scrambling competition amongst the members for Ministerial favors. The country is better educated on the subject of administrative misdeeds than it used to be, and only energy and persistence are necessary in order that the present Parliament may overthrow the bad system under which the Government of the country has been carried on for so long.-- The “Dominion.”
